<br>
I would like to ask you for help with my searching of analogy to the <br>
antler comb from site Pohansko near Břeclav (CZ).<br>
This is early medieval stronghold (9th - first half of 10th cen.). The <br>
comb was found in 3 pieces above the remains of christian church - a <br>
rotunda.<br>
There is an article about this rotunda is there: in journal Památky <br>
archeologické from 2014:<br>
<a href="https://www.academia.edu/9675500/Velkomoravsk%C3%A1_rotunda_z_Pohanska_u_B%C5%99eclavi_THE_GREAT_MORAVIAN_ROTUNDA_AT_POHANSKO_NEAR_B%C5%98ECLAV" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.academia.edu/9675500/Velkomoravsk%C3%A1_rotunda_z_Pohanska_u_B%C5%99eclavi_THE_GREAT_MORAVIAN_ROTUNDA_AT_POHANSKO_NEAR_B%C5%98ECLAV</a><br>
<br>
According my investigation: the comb we can assign to the group IB, type <br>
VII (variety 9a or 9c) or type VIII (variety 4) - classification <br>
according to Eugeniusz Cnotliwy 1973: Rzemioslo rogownicze na Pomorzu <br>
wcześniośredniowiecznym. This king of a comb is dated in the turn of the <br>
9th and 10th century AD.<br>
According to fig. 28 in the monograph of A. Chmielowska (1971) - it <br>
could be the comb of group IB, type 9, variety e - dated since 11th to <br>
13th century AD.<br>
(titel: Grzebiene starozytne i średniowieczne z ziem polskich).<br>
<br>
Please, does anybody know about some similar finding?<br>
<br>
I will be thankful for any information.<br>
<br>
Thank you in advance.<br>
